The world and its wisdom



Behold the world and the wisdom thereof . . .
First Nephi. Chapter Eleven. Verse 35.

The world and its wisdom have ever been chaff
To those who look closely and know how to laugh.
Academies burble and think tanks prevail
In gulling the millions with concepts quite stale.

The bigots and bloggers, with bombastic beats,
March to the tune of vainglorious tweets.
Cozening crowds is as easy as pie
If you are willing to flatter and lie.

The wisdom that matters, the knowledge that saves,
Is not to be found through tall tales told by slaves.
Instead it’s discovered where it always will be;

With the teachings of One Man from old Galilee.
